We made something called Divergence-300 @32 (and later @512) which tests actual inference across 32 tokens on a held out test (Terminal Bench, DeepSWE, Math etc)

We do plan to do larger benchmark suites though!

Re:Unsloth Dynamic 3.0 GGUFs on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @06:26PM (#49367978)
Hey we did not remove the MTP for sizes above 8GiB - but yes for small GGUFs under 8 ish GiB, we removed the MTP module (IQ2_XXS and lower), because it's 500MiB to 750MiB in size, and on small 8 GiB machines, even 500MiB is needed.

As someone in the comments said we made a separate Q4_0 MTP if that's helpful so you can use that.

But I would suggest using UD-IQ3_XXS for 10.9GB for 16GB machines or Q2_K_XL

Actually we do publish non KLD benchmarks - top-1% is better - for NVFP4 for eg we did MMLU Pro, GPQA, AIME 2025: https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.6#nvfp4-benchmarks

Sometimes they're just slow and expensive, so we we KLD as a proxy measure and it's very high correlation (95%+)

That wasn't our problem right? Gemma officially updated tool calling which we adopted
Re:Qwen3.8-27B on Friday August 14, 2026 @12:04PM (#49300638)
We also made NVFP4 ones if that helps! https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4

Ok no worries - if there are any future issues - feel free to message / make a HF issue - we'll fix promptly!

Also note its best to follow Gemma4's official sampling params since they evaled with it - dry multiplier sometimes works, but it actually screws up reasoning sometimes

Re:Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B on Thursday August 13, 2026 @03:58AM (#49282955)
We will investigate Ling!

Thanks haha

Hey yes - if you could describe what the issues are - we will gladly fix them!
Re:Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @06:38PM (#49279544)
Hey sorry what are the problems that you're experiencing - we're more than happy to help fix them!
Re:Unsloth Desktop: Open-Source App for Local Models on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @02:39PM (#49262640)
Oh thanks for sharing! We launched a Desktop app with fast diffusion, video gen, training support, inference + tool calling, web search, canvas, HTTPS secure remote access via Cloudflared, API / model swapping + more!

It works in [Windows, Linux, Mac, WSL] X [NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, CPUs]!

If there are any issues / suggestions - we'll be quick to fix / implement them!

Re:Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model on Thursday July 16, 2026 @02:47AM (#48931117)
Oh thanks for sharing! The llama.cpp PRs should generally be fine for now - I'm fixing a few small edge cases as well!
Very cool write-up and GitHub repo!
Re:Unsloth Joins PyTorch Ecosystem on Monday May 11, 2026 @11:15AM (#48096146)
Thank you appreciate the support! It's all thanks to you guys and the community!
Update - Just got rid of the spiced up intro
Thank you!
Oh thanks :) We're also going to add MTP support soon for Qwen3.6!

95% of it is fully human done - the maths, algos, code snippets, screenshots & benchmarks are done / conducted by us and NVIDIA :)

We did use AI to fix spelling errors + made some nice plots using Chat (ours would look horrible lol)

Update - Just got rid of the spiced up intro

Sorry on the delay - so it installs https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm and other components and sets up the commands - you don't need to use it but we thought it might be easier for folks
Re:Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model on Thursday April 30, 2026 @02:13AM (#47958818)
Sorry on the delay - oh haha that would be cool :) We did release 2bit dynamic ones, but unsure if they'll be helpful
Re:Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model on Thursday April 30, 2026 @02:12AM (#47958814)
Yes we do! Sorry on the delay
Re:Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model on Thursday April 30, 2026 @01:21AM (#47958476)
We use Duck Duck Go - sorry on the delayed response as well

Thank you and appreciate it! Sorry on the delayed reply as well
Re:Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model on Thursday April 30, 2026 @01:21AM (#47958471)
Oh yes LM Link is cool!
Re:Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model on Thursday April 30, 2026 @01:21AM (#47958470)
Hey sorry on the delay - we just added API support, so you can access a remote server - it includes optional python, tool call, bash and web search support if you enable them.

For SSH - we haven't yet done that - for now we have a SHA256 encryption approach, but it's not SSH yet. HTTPS will also sadly have to be the end user's setup process as well - we plan to make it better soon!

Re:Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model on Thursday April 30, 2026 @01:19AM (#47958453)
Hey! Sorry for not replying sooner - yes we'll keep publishing more KLD - sadly some are saying we are "optimizing" for KLD now since we posted so many haha - but the whole purpose of quantization is to match the BF16 logits as much as possible whilst reducing disk space (ie reduce KLD).

In general so this is funny and a quirk of quantization - sometimes 8bit, 4bit models do BETTER on downstream benchmarks (SWE Bench for eg), since sometimes rounding can actually somehow act as a "regularization" method (this is just my hunch).

So KLD isn't that expensive, since we leverage the trick of causal attention - since causal attention is lower triangular, we can do 1 forward pass on the enter text (say 2048 tokens), and you attain logits for the prediction for every token's position - so this is O(N^2).

However coding benchmarking require actual inference, and cannot use the causal attention trick, and it's best to run them 10 times since temperature = 1.0 is not deterministic - and take an average. We plan to maybe do something like https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claude-code/, which takes a random sample and does it over time.

Hey so sorry didn't reply sooner - yes the docker used to be I think 4-8GB ish since CUDA sadly itself is 4GB I think, and PyTorch takes the rest. So unfortunately the Unsloth Docker image has ballooned due to this. We tried reducing it as much as possible, but it's hard :( https://hub.docker.com/r/vllm/vllm-openai/tags for eg is around 11GB ish, ad we're 13.6GB ish.

We'll try our best to compress it more, but it's tough

Re:Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model on Thursday April 30, 2026 @01:09AM (#47958386)
Apologies as well didn't reply sooner - Studio supports AMD out of the box now! We worked with AMD to make it work! One thing that is still missing is pre-compiled AMD ROCM binaries, which we're trying to see if we can integrate that.

Interesting on diskpart - let me check and get back to you [EDIT] - visual studio build tools, python 3.13, git, cmake, node.js are all msi-based installers - so these are likely the culprits on using diskpart - essentially MSI installers check if there's enough disk space before installing items
